I always enjoyed spending time with Jeffree at Michael's home, and appreciate how he always welcomed me. Sending my love and deepest condolences to Jeffree and his brothers.

Dear Cousins - Pat, Jeff, David and Scott, I´m so sorry for your loss. Mike was a good man and he was always so loving to me whenever we got to visit. I remember playing with toy horses at Uncle Howard´s and Aunt Virginia´s house in Tulsa, when I was little. The horses were either Mike´s or Pat´s or both! At any rate, I felt pretty honored to be trusted with those horses! - I´m posting a picture taken at our Grandmother´s 80th Birthday party in 1977. I remember this moment well....

I always felt better when I saw Mike, mostly at All Souls, standing there as a warm, welcoming giant of a man. He always supported my work at the Church and was encouraging. He shared books with me. I think when this affliction occurred I realized how deeply I felt for him. Love you, man!
